Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Different activities will be organized:
. Plenary sessions, at the beginning and end of the year, in order to set the framework of the course and regulate it.
. Work-based conferences: eight conferences are planned. Professionals (psychologists and educational scientists) will explain their career paths and professional experience. You will be requested to prepare thse conferences and engage in discussions with these professionals.
. A choice of conferences: from a list of conferences that I will propose, you will have to choose and attend a minimum of one of them.
. Throughout the year, you will have to keep a journal. At the end of each event (profession-based conference or conference at your own choice), you will have to complete a form, the framework of which will be given to you at the beginning of the year.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Face-to-face, complemented with a web space for communication, information sharing and handing in the reports.
Recommended or required readings :  
Assessment methods and criteria :  
You will have to attend the activities mentioned above and submit a report at the end of the year.
Activities (mandatory)
- work-based conferences (a web-based activity, sort of "daily journal", will be asked after each conference).
- a conference of your choice (you'll have to bring back a signed protocol).
Report consisting of:
- the contents of your "journal".
- the signed protocol attesting your participation to one external conference.
- a written individual two-page synthesis (maximum) in which, thanks to your journal, you write down your reflections on the learning, surprises and questions you have with regard to the psychologist/educationalist and the exercise of your future profession as well as a link between professional practice and one of the courses of the programme. The quality requirements for this report will be explained during the course.
The final grade will take into account both your participation to the activities and the quality of your submitted report.

Organizational remarks :  
. Communication modalities
I will use the e-campus platform to share information with you (documents to be downloaded, messages, agendas...).
